Ideal Creative Day
I swapped “ideal creative days” with Sydney. Here’s a quick breakdown of her day:
7 am — wake/stretch/yoga
8 am — breakfast/social media time
10 am — review emails/planner/walk dog
11 am — start working/editing
12 pm — parkville coffee/creating/lunch
4 pm — update planner/go home
5 pm — netflix/relax/chores
7pm — dinner/review today’s work
Overall Sydney and I have similar ideal days. I couldn’t execute her day minute-by-minute, but I tried getting the basic schedule down. Usually I try to make it to my 5:30 am work out class, so her slower mornings was a nice change. I love getting things done early in the morning, but I also greatly love sleep. Like Sydney, I also start my day by checking my emails and focusing on what needs to be accomplished. Personally, I find it extremely difficult to create at home, so visiting a coffee shop forces me to focus with minor distractions. I always benefit from a change of scenery for a creative/inspiration boost. I wonder if I actually executed my ideal day if it would be as great as I imagine. Throughout this experience it made me realize that my time management sucks! I have so much time in the day… where does it all go and why do I never get anything done? It would be interesting for me to write down what I do every minute of the day to try to increase productivity.
Midterms
Research: Forms (2)
This online quiz was created to inform the reader about what their subconscious is trying to tell them. Not sure if a website is the appropriate form, but gets me thinking more about interactive digital forms. Researching more into data collection and decision making.
Research: Forms
Stemming from my last lexicon, this foldable is asking the reader questions and giving them information about their subconscious. Needs more type variation and interest. Good starting point for an interactive form.
Research: Lexicon 2
Second iteration of my lexicon. Narrowed down the terms surrounding how the subconscious affects human behavior.
Research: Lexicon
First draft of my lexicon of terms related to my interests.
Blood, sleep, emotional, present, reaction, time
T3: Valis (2)
One of my first iterations of chapter 36 of The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick, related to these 3D forms created last week.
Research: Terms
Coming from the list of my interests ~here~, I have started narrowing down topics of things I’d like to dive further into. Currently I’m researching how pop culture relates and affects the subconscious mind and human behavior. Here’s a visual map showing how the terms in both subjects are associated.
